Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 760

"Audrey?" Whitney sat in the Sheldon Group office, her brow furrowed in surprise, "Sorry, I hardly know you. Why should we meet?"

"What if I have something I want to discuss with you?" Audrey sneered.

Whitney raised an eyebrow. "And what's that?"

"Something involving you, me, and someone else," Audrey quickly added, noticing Whitney's impatience. "Oh, right. You reported your best friend, Tiana Melford, missing to the police, didn't you?" Whitney's suspicion spiked. "How do you know about that?"

"Let's just say I know a lot more. I have some things to tell you, but it's up to you if you want to listen. Meet me at the Sheldon Group!"

With that, Audrey hung up.

Whitney held her phone, lost in thought...

What did Audrey want to talk about?

After hanging up, Audrey jumped into her newly purchased Tesla and sped towards the Sheldon Group.

As she drove through a newly developed area called Emperor City, her brakes suddenly failed.

Realizing something was wrong, Audrey frantically tried to stop the car, but it crashed into a construction site's steel rods.

The sharp rods pierced through the windshield in an instant.

"Ah!" Audrey screamed, eyes wide in horror.

She tried to reverse, but the brake system seemed to be controlled, relentlessly pushing her forward.

"No, please...it hurts!"

Blood quickly soaked her, until a steel rod completely impaled her, suspending her body in the air.
